Batting Cages in Ottawa
We get a lot of questions about batting cages in Ottawa, and as far as we know there are no public batting cages in Ottawa.
In Gatineau, Le Pavillion du Golf at 769 Maloney Boulevard (near Labrosse) has a batting cage 819-643-6969.
And about 30 minutes south of Ottawa, just east of Metcalfe, there's a place called 417 Strike Zone RR 1, Metcalfe, ON K0A 2P0. Call first to make sure they're open: 613-821-3737.
You can rent a batting cage from a company based in Dunrobin called Circus Delights.

Tennis

All you need is luv: We've been playing tennis in Ottawa at least since the 1870's, when the game was first played on the ground of Rideau Hall. Today, there are dozens of courts and hundreds of players who take part in the game. If you're a fan of the game, you'll want to check out the OttawaTennis.com, the home page of the National Capital Tennis Association. They've got the latest news about local leagues and tournaments, a list of places to play, and plenty of other helpful links. And if you're looking for a partner to play with, check out the Ottawa Virtual Tennis Club.
